CAT PROBLEM

The neighbour across the road has many cats going in and out of their house.

And the cats must really like my new house because one of them poo poo at my front door almost every other day

Everytime i drop by i need to clear the poo i saw the AVA van driving pass last week to look for strays but left empty handed. so disappointing

Our home pet rabbit Mocha

gives our family a lot of joy and fun with his actions and behaviour

have to give it some thought where to house him to protect his from the neighours cats and our future big dog which we plan to adopt.

hi suyun,

ur rabbit is soo cute!! netherland dwarf? how old is he? anyway - my parents' place also had a lot of issues with cats - we've got them eating our pets (both chicks and hamsters) and pooping all over our garden.. in the end my grandma came up with the solution - to spray the cats with cold water everytime they come near or to keep the floor wet and full of baskets before we sleep at night - but this is a temporary solution =( they still come back after some time..

cant wait to see ur finished product =D

SWING GATE OR SLIDING GATE

After much consideration and budget constraint. we decided to keep the present swing gate and change the swing gate system. To share with fellow forummers who are looking into this, i done some homework on my part.

Quotation from well know gate company and similar competitor for Malaysian Made Motors such as RANGER is prized about $1800 even $1950 with sensor, italian brand FAAC swing arm cost $2500 to 3000, FAAC slide motor cost 2180 with sensor

but if you get from the distributors directly it will cost you from $1000 t0 1300. Brands from Ranger, DORMA, GOOD1 with warranty of up to 18months and one to one exchange

that is a savings of at least $500 with no gst as well.

Hope i can find more good deals to save money $$$

Hi Suyun

Can you PM me your gate supplier?

:o

:bath:Ha Ha Minerat, i want my rain shower, its the must have now.

'Only have one bathtub to install

maybe a cheaper brand like crisco.

let me count :

Grouhe Rainshower set with mixer and tap $550

toilet bowl $300

Poscilin vanity basin $400

rinser $35

Towel rack $70

Toilet roll holder $30

Mirror $100

Joven Water heater tank 15litre $380 with installation

I hope i can contain the damage to $1500 per toilet, but very hard leh

Thank God i met a parent from my son's school who said she is clearing her warehouse of sanitary ware. incomplete set of different brands but it will be clearance price.

I am waiting in anticipation maybe i will have more savings after all.

Check with you folks, the heaters I used in my HDB are all electric type, in my terrace house I would like those taps (besides shower) with hot and cold water so I will need to install those heater tanks right? If extisting one don't have, would the pipings be complicated?

The plumber will run everything for you. Its not complicated. I like heater tank better because the water pressure is better, you get a better shower. Once you try it, you wont go back to instant heater. You want I can pm you a company that does plumbling, electrical and aircon. They are very pro and not expensive. Except got gst.

Nasty surprise awaits me after we removed the door frame from utility wall

The wood is rotting from inside, take another look

Take a look on the right wall, it's the wall of the ultity room

The wall of utility room will be partially hacked away to make way for a service counter.

the hacking of the kitchen, the maid room is completed, toilets are ongoing and should be completed by tommorrow. The car pouch , walkways and wet kitchen will start soon.

I Can't wait to see more progress

Day 4 13th September 2012

Hacking continue, nothing much was happening so I skipped posting yesterday.

But being at the house inspires me design ideas for this house. Which I will share in future.

Day 5 14 September 2012 PEST CONTROL CHECK

Remember that photo I posters yesterday, according to the nice gentleman from Rentokil, that was a termite trail.

The termites are no longer active in this house, but they did leave a little hint of their presence. I am just so grateful those insects have moved on.

The ground and roof treatment will start end of next week after we finish hacking and clearing the debris.

We removed part of the kitchen wall to create more space a better airflow.

Noticed the staircase parquet had been removed? We are going to tile it.

Another look at the staircase before the parquet were removed. It is simply beautiful. We had to change the wood as most of them had chipped off and too costly to repair. Retiling them is a more practical long term solution.

How about wood tiles?
